Verified Clear

What does this score mean?

Verified Clear

Verified Clear is the clearest score that a church can receive. A “VC” church indicates a representative from the church has responded to our policy-survey, confirming their actively enforced policies, directly with our team. Churches are eligible for a Verified Clear score regardless of their answers to the survey questions, which are displayed in lieu of our typical scoring designations.

In the survey, we ask if churches will hire, marry and ordain (or recommend for ordination) all who identify as LGBTQIA, if women can preach, lead and govern, how often women and/or non-binary preach and if they make up at least 50% of church's leadership team.
